Dethleffs T 6767
Does anyone have any opinions on whether £47K is a reasonable price to pay for a 2017 Dethleffs Trend T 6767 with 16,000 miles on the clock, private sale?

It's a basic spec, noting wrong that I can see either mechanically or hab, 2 previous owners and a good history.

I'm a newbie looking for my first MH and I can't find much in the way of market pointers for that particular model and year.

Our 2019, traded-in Bailey 70-6 with 7k miles on it, was recently sold on by the dealer for 50k which was 4k more than i paid new. So 47k for a 2017 Dethleffs doesn't sound too bad.

I sold my 2017 Dethleffs Trend 6717, with 18k on the clock, to a dealer for 42000 in August. That’s only 1k less than I paid for it. The dealer is selling it for 49995.

The market demand controls the prices and due to covid and the fact that M/H are considered a safe bubble demand is high. If you want it buy it, life is too short.

Yes, you're absolutely right. I've been humming and hawing for years and it's a bit spur of the moment now. Life is indeed too short and thanks for reminding me.

On 3rd van so not a total newbie....
Doesn't sound a bad price, given the market, we had a 2017 i6767 which we loved, a great layout, but be careful, the sidewalls are glued and dowelled, and it seems there was a duff batch where the glue broke down, ours did, look where the kitchen work top meets the wall, it should be tight, ours had about 5-6mm and when driving it could be seen moving in and out.
The official repair is to fit a load of angle iron to brace the walls and units!

Not long enough!
Dethleffs are excellent build quality and great parts supply. We have had quite a few over the years and our last two were Trends.
As for value for money, it is a touch high for 2017, but the market is hot, demand is way outstripping supply. Our 2018 LHD sold for £50,000 last month to a dealer.

This will be a very solid van and will hold it's value well. I would get a feel for the quality of other, similarly priced vans made by different makers to double check.
I feel that these are solid, German-made vans and if the layout is good for you, go for it.

Having had it now since a few weeks after my first post, I fuly agree regards the buld quality. To my (admitedly untrained) eye, the buld quality is top notch. The only fault I have come across thus far is a bulb that occaisionaly flickers above the cooker. Not a single regret with my decision to take the plunge on this.
